  2. Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrodermatitis_nodular...

    Elastic tissue loss, vascular and connective tissue degradation, and skin and cartilage thinning are all brought on by aging. [6] The onset of CNCH symptoms may be related to the cartilage's increased susceptibility to pressure damage as it ages and loses some of its flexibility. Additionally, older adults typically move less while they sleep ...

  3. Collagen loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen_loss

    Aging skin is characterized by wrinkles, loss of skin flexibility, laxity, and having a rough appearance in the skin texture. Prevalent throughout the body, loss of collagen can also contribute to numerous other disorders such as joint pain, weakened hair and nails, reduced bone density, gastrointestinal issues, and reduced muscle mass ...

  4. Sarcopenic obesity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenic_obesity

    Sarcopenic obesity is a combination of two disease states, sarcopenia and obesity.Sarcopenia is the muscle mass/strength/physical function loss associated with increased age, [1] and obesity is based off a weight to height ratio or body mass index (BMI) that is characterized by high body fat or being overweight.

  5. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoxanthoma_elasticum

    Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disease that causes mineralization of elastic fibers in some tissues. The most common problems arise in the skin and eyes, and later in blood vessels in the form of premature atherosclerosis.

  6. Sarcopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia

    A number of expert groups have proposed an increase in dietary protein recommendations for older age groups to 1.0–1.2 g/kg body weight per day. [48] [49] Ensuring adequate nutrition in older adults is of interest in the prevention of sarcopenia and frailty, since it is a simple, low-cost treatment approach without major side effects. [50]

  7. Arterial stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_stiffness

    The primary sites of end-target organ damage following an increase in arterial stiffness are the heart, the brain (stroke, white matter hyperintensities (WMHs)), the placenta, and the kidneys (age-related loss of kidney function). [21] Firstly, stiffened arteries compromise the Windkessel effect of the arteries. [22]

  8. Muscle atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_atrophy

    Muscle loss can be quantified with advanced imaging studies but this is not frequently pursued. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but will often include exercise and adequate nutrition. Anabolic agents may have some efficacy but are not often used due to side effects. There are multiple treatments and supplements under investigation but ...

  9. Actinic elastosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinic_elastosis

    Actinic elastosis, also known as solar elastosis, is an accumulation of abnormal elastin (elastic tissue) in the dermis of the skin, [2] or in the conjunctiva of the eye, [3] which occurs as a result of the cumulative effects of prolonged and excessive sun exposure, a process known as photoaging.
